The Art & Science of Brewing Perfect Coffee
Welcome to The Art & Science of Brewing Perfect Coffee with Seven Pines. As engineers and coffee aficionados, we've honed our approach to brewing, blending precision with passion to achieve the ultimate coffee experience. Coffee brewing might not be rocket science, but it's certainly an art form peppered with delightful science. The magic of a perfect cup lies in the balance of several elements: the water you use, the grinder and machine you entrust with your beans, and, of course, the choice of coffee itself. Here's how we do it and how you can too:
For Precision Lovers: Dialing In with a Scale
We swear by using a scale to find that perfect water-to-coffee ratio, fine-tuning each cup to our exact preference. If you're inclined towards exact measurements for consistent excellence, this method is for you.
​
For the Easygoing Brewer: The Classic Rule of Thumb
Not up for the scale method? No worries! As a general guideline, aim for two tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water. This is a great starting point, though we encourage adjusting to taste.
​
Water Wisdom: The Foundation of Flavor
Always opt for filtered water if it's available to you. The quality of your water is the unsung hero of coffee brewing, laying the groundwork for every nuance of flavor to shine through.
​
Cleanliness is Key
Remember, the tools of the trade thrive on care. Regular cleaning of your coffee maker and grinder is essential to prevent the build-up of coffee residue and oils, ensuring every brew is as fresh as the first.

Savor the Moment
In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to overlook the joy of a well-brewed cup of coffee. We encourage you to pause and delight in the aromas and flavors. Allow that morning (or afternoon) cup to be a moment of tranquility and pleasure, not just another item on your to-do list.
